Up to 70% of new jobs will require post-secondary education in the new economy.

Over 50% of recent immigrants have a university degree - twice the proportion of the Canadian born population at 22%.

Failure to recognize immigrants' learning and credentials costs the Canadian economy $3.4 billion to $5 billion in lost earnings every year.

If immigrants had the same likelihood of employment at the same average income as people born in Canada, personal income would be approximately $13 billion higher and there would be almost 400,000 extra workers.

7 out of every 10 recent immigrants settle in GTA, Montreal and Vancouver.

Canada's foreign born population will rise to one third of the labour market by 2031.
